The Gospel of Philip: Annotated & Explained

Details

The Gospel of Philip draws on ancient imagery—the natural world, the relationships between women, men, and family, the ancient distinctions between lord and servants, free people and slaves, and pagans, Jews, and Christians. Andrew Phillip Smith provides a fresh translation of the second-century Coptic text. In his commentary, he also unravels the discourses, parables, and symbolism, exploring the meaning of the text, as well as how it parallels the writings of Paul.
